INTENSE PLAYER SELECTION PROCESS!
Player 4 almost chooses Jokinen as if he feels it would be the right move, but then he doesn't. Never at any point does player 3 consider selecting Ladd, as he is clearly the domain of player 1. Player 2 gives a great deal of consideration to Burmistrov... All the other players choose things very randomly and I wouldn't read into it much.

STUFF ABOUT ACTUAL HOCKEY...
Before this game, the Jets lost a few, but then they won a few, so it's not so bad. This is a Must Win and lots of other cliches.

If Pavelec lets in no goals, we will probably win. If he makes no saves, we will probably lose. Tonight's Ondrej report is forecasting a strong chance of No goals with extremely short periods of no saves. (These almost always come to pass after a single shot)

Jets are 5-5-0 in their last 10, and 22-19-2 on the season, with 46 points
Carolina is 2-8-0 in their last 10, and 17-23-2 on the season, with 36 points

In all seriousness, (Literally, this is the only time I'm going to say anything serious. This sentence actually contains "all seriousness") this is a huge game for the jets, like all the remaining games for the season. The Jets playoff odds are slightly above 50% if they go 3-2 in their last 5, if they go 4-1 they are up around ninety, and have a good shot at winning the "Southeast Cup!". Now is the time for our boys to fight as Mario brothers (hence the BDT) and notch one more win in the playoff desperation belt.

Of Note: If Antropov is back in the lineup, he will not be added to the playable characters, as he was not a factor when the game was released. You will have to wait and buy Jets Kart 2014 for that.

Ladd-Little-Wheeler --> will stay together
Kane-Jokinen- Wellwood --> Antro has been better this year than Joker, but does he have the speed to be on that line? Welly isn't fast, but him and Atro will certainly slow down Kaner.
Tanger-Burmi-'Relli --> No desire to break up this line, Antro doesnt mesh with what they do
Wright-Gagnon-Thorburn--> Obviously Gagnon comes out, no? But does Antro slot in our the 4th line?

While Antropov and Wellwood don't have speed they don't need much of it to help out Kane, as Kane tends to take the puck in himself and usually chips it in deep when there's no option. All they need to do is get the puck to him from deep by winning boar battles, intercepting passes and playing smart.
Can't be any worse than Jokinen anyways.... Kane has two 5v5 goal with Jokinen on the ice.....

But it'll never happen......

It's true, unfortunately... Jokinen or Welly, win a board battle for Kane? Why would they want to do that?

If Game of Thrones has taught me anything, it's that if you don't win those boar battles, everything goes to hell.
